With this easy, traditional recipe, it is easy to make your own strawberry vinegar at home for use on fruits, salads, or in vinaigrette. Great for kitchen gifts.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 quarts distilled white wine vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 quart (4 cups) strawberries, washed, hulled and lightly crushed (may use frozen berries)

Preparation:

Heat vinegar to the boiling point.

Place the cleaned strawberries in a heat-proof lidded container and cover with the hot vinegar. Sprinkle with the sugar, cover, and store in a cool, dark place (a cellar or in the back of a bottom cabinet away from appliances is ideal) for two weeks.

Filter the strawberry vinegar through cheesecloth into sterilized glass jars or bottles, seal, and store in a cool, dark place or refrigerate.

Yield: about 3 quarts
